ROUND ROCK, Texas – Dell Inc. said it is settling a class-action lawsuit that claimed the company made misleading financing and service offers to PC buyers.

Dell will pay $3.85 million to Ohio and 44 other states participating in the settlement.

The lawsuit claimed Dell offered customers zero-percent financing but later applied a high interest rate without their knowledge. The lawsuit also claimed problems with Dell’s warranty service and rebate programs.

Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray said $75,000 will go to his state, with additional amounts to be claimed by Ohio consumers.
